Chains; chapter 6
Big Question
Example:
“Why did this happen?” or
“What does this mean?”
“Country girls are slowmoving, vexing creatures,” he
said.
“You’re the vexatious one,” I
said. “Running off and leaving
me like that.”
(page 37)

2. Why Isabel she feel like
she should apologize to
Curzon?

loyalty involve for

It Says
Write down a line from the
text that relates or points to
the question.
I Say
Give your reaction- what
do you interpret or infer
about what is happening
in that line of text?
“We stood glaring at each
other, him with his arms
crossed over his chest, me
trying to catch my breath.”
(Anderson 37)
They don’t like each
other. Isabel is getting
annoyed with him.
“Now he would truly leave
and I would be lost in this
horrible place.” (Anderson
37)
She apologized to protect
Ruth. I know this because
in Chapter 5 she takes a
slap.
“Lockton is a dirty Loyalist…” I say… no matter what,
(Anderson 38)
there’s pain related to
“Being loyal to the one who loyalty.
owned me gave me prickly
thoughts.” (Anderson 39)
And So
And so… answer the
question.
Finish the thought by
connecting it back to the
question. You came up with
evidence, explained that
evidence, so how do you
answer the question?
And so…
Vex means to annoy.
And so…I predict she will do
whatever she has to do to
protect Ruth even if it makes
her uncomfortable.
And so…
She’s going to remain loyal
as long as she and Ruth are
kept safe.
